  Runeveil 0.7.5 Patch Notes - Wizard Balancing

  Hello all! We are back with another Runeveil update! This time with a new arena! There is also a big overhaul about the starting decks for all mages, the game should feel a lot better to play. We also touched the difficulty a little, so if it's too hard or easy, please let us know. There is also 2 new temporal wizard runes, as well as a bunch of balance changes, new art and visual changes overall. System Change: Starting Deck Overhaul- Standardized Starting Decks: All wizards now start with a refined 10 card deck featuring a 2-2-2-2-2 split (2 Strikes, 2 Blasts, 2 Shields, and 2 copies each of two class runes). For example, the Water Mage now starts with 2 Strikes, 2 Blasts, 2 Shields, 2 Siren Songs, and 2 Anchor Drops. This replaces the old 3-3-3-1-1 format, which made early game feel bland at times.- Early Game Rerolls: To improve early game consistency, every wizard's starting deck now features a way to generate Rerolls! (Note: The Water Mage is the exception here, as their kit already possesses a lot of inherent rerolls).👑 New Arena: Envy ArenaWelcome to the Envy Arena, better not have shiny stuff! This arena dramatically decreases your chances of seeing Epic and Legendary loot in the shop (up to a massive 75% chance at Ascension 7) and damages and sabotages you for triggering high rarity runes and artifacts. Commons are the way to go!⏳ Temporal Mage AdjustmentsTemporal Mage’s starting relic will not have any max HP (machines are fragile!). The negative damage is now less, but there is a small amount of negative multiplier.Starting Relics- Rusted Chronometer (Starter): Pickup: +1 hand size. +50% Gold, -50 damage and -0.15 mult per stage.- Flawless Chronometer (Upgrade): Pickup: +1 hand size. +65% Gold, -35 damage and -0.1 mult per stage.New Temporal RunesA rune to help you stack an age rune better while staying alive, and other one so gear decks can tech a couple age runes and be strong!- Stasis Field (Rare Attack): 200 Damage. Effect: If your next rune has Age,...

  Runeveil 0.7 Patch Notes - Temporal Mage!

  Hello everyone!We, as dicehit, are going through a very busy time, with our new game Bug Cleaners being just around the corner and our next game, Check Please! just announcing. But we are always very excited to share Runeveil content with you guys, and the best content to share is a new wizard! Our newest addition is our bio-mechanical friend, the Temporal Mage!---New Class: The Temporal Mage* The Temporal Mage has arrived! Create huge chains with Gear runes, hoard Age runes for delayed payoffs, and make sure you remember what Delay effects you are using!* Unlock Condition: Reach Turn 7 at least 15 times across all runs.---Gameplay & Trait Updates* The Blind: Fixed a bug where this trait was not functioning correctly. It will now properly hide enemy HP and intents (Effect: Draft 1 Epic rune and Gain +1000 Max HP. You cannot see enemy HP and intents).* The Hoarder (Gameplay Altering): Deck size threshold reduced to 30 runes (was 40). Effect remains the same. It was too difficult to reach, let's see if we have to readjust it again.---Act 3 & Enemy Balancing* Act 3 Difficulty: Enemy health pools have been significantly reduced, and enemy damage output has been slightly reduced across all Ascensions. Act 2 used to be the place where a lot of our players dropped, but now it's Act 3, which is fine, but finishing runs almost became a thing of the past. * Flesh Amalgam: Base shield gain has been reduced. Very frustrating enemy to fight against, and has a high kill rate.---Rune Balance ChangesFire* Firewall: Added the "Unique" tag. A couple of these in a build deck and you are invincible. Shouldn't be.WaterShield builds feel very weak if you don't have specific runes, this does not fix that BUT is a step in the right direction. Next patch will be better, I promise, water fans.* Winter's Grasp: Damage threshold scaling increased to +400 damage when Shield > 999.* Hailstorm: Card type corrected. It is now properly classified as a Support rune instead of an Attack rune.* Trench...
